"To activate WiFI functionality on this device, a minimum of 1 month data subscription is required."

Not surprising really. Those who think Verizon is less greedy than AT&T are in for a serious shock lol.

When the WiFi only version / version not bound to Verizon comes out, you will not have carriers dictating your use. So I eagerly await the release of that one, or similar ones from other companies.
